Abstract
Abstract A rapid sensitive method for the application of thin-layer chromatography to the detection and estimation of chlorinated organic pesticide residues has been developed. Compared to paper chromatography the method is faster, more sensitive, and in most cases more specific. Chlorinated pesticide residues were identified in extracts of various food products at concentrations as low as 1 part per billion; these results were verified by gas-liquid chromatography. Because of its simplicity, speed, and sensitivity, thin-layer chromatography is suitable as a rapid screening method or as a confirmatory method in conjunction with gas-liquid chromatography or other analytical methods for chlorinated pesticide residue analysis.
